Hi!
Like to write quite a lot (ca 100) of objects from my envirovment with save.
The names of the objects are in a list nam.
nam<-dir()
nam<-grep("E",nam,value=T)
length(nam)
20
for(x in nam)
{
#reads the objects and assigns the names.
assign(x,simFromEmboss(Simmatrix(),x))
nnam<-paste(x,".rda",sep="")
print(nnam)
save(x,file=nnam)
}
I knew that it fails. (It saves object x containing a char.)
How to save the objects in separate files not typing each time save(myobj,save="myobj.rda")???
Is there a workaround.
Sincerely Eryk
passing object names in a vector to save?

There are at least two possibilities. The specialised one is to look at
the help for save() and notice that you can specify a vector of names of
objects with the list= argument
save(list=x,file=nnam)
The more general one is to use substitute() or do.call(). For example
do.call("save",list(as.name(x),file=nnam))
